Heidfeld considering his options
Thursday 2nd July 2009
Nick Heidfeld admits he may not race for BMW next season as he is in talks with other teams.
The German has made no secret of his unhappiness with the Hinwil-based teams' performances thus far this season, and with his contract expiring this year he may leave the team.
"I am talking with several teams - not just BMW," Heidfeld told Eurosport.
Despite failing to register a race win during his ten year stint in F1, the 32-year-old insists he is not ready to walk away from the sport.
"I still want to be World Champion," explained the German, "even if it only happens when I am 40.
"If you look at the past few years, drivers are staying until they are 38, 39, so I have a few years still in front of me," he added.

"Nerdace,
Oh, you mean because Heidfeld had the proper tires on for the conditions while the cars he passed, "in the wet" didn't? Again, this is luck and/or proper race strategy, not driver ability. I'd love to see a chart of the number of times he's lost vs gained positions. I bet its 9:1, at least."

"These options will probably include NASCAR and GP2..."

"M5ridero - "I don't remember the last time be passed a competitive car". I do LOL He passed 4 cars in 1 lap during a wet 2008 British GP. Those drivers included Raikonnen, Kovalainen, Alonso and Trulli.
Heidfeld is not the best, but he is another consistant reliable driver similar to Barrichello."

"Heidfeld is a stiff and hasn't earned a quality finish w/ HIS driving (not luck) for years. All you've got to do to pass him is sit on his tail until he makes a mistake. I don't remember the last time he passed a competitive car. Think BMW regrets not dumping him when they had VETTEL!?
Kubica deserves a better car. Heidfeld does not."
